I was busy but didn’t get anything done

For months I procrastinated away working on my marketing materials. I knew I could get more gigs if I just sat down one Sunday and could just focus but other things always came up. Every week I confidently told myself that I got a lot done today, but every week I had pushed off the biggest thing that I knew would get me more gigs.

A productivity tip I picked up a few months ago has begun to help me sort things out. So far I’ve made it a habit to take about a half hour to plan out the upcoming two weeks, each and every Monday. This approach indeed helped; it cut down on how often I needed to stop and reassess what needed to get done. This conserved finite willpower and enabled me to push through.
